The latest Truth or Consequences Community Theatre effort is a bit more than a play; it includes a canned food drive. The play is about a couple who invites a homeless man over for dinner and are soon convinced that their hapless guest is actually a brilliant student of the human condition. Directed by Carol Anton, it stars PJ Waggaman, Susie Wisdom, Ginger Henry and Rick O'Neill. The Friday and Saturday night shows start at 7pm; dinner served Saturday at 6pm; Sunday matinees at 1pm. Cost: $10 general admission (does not include dinner); $8 senior and student rate; $15 dinner & show (reservations required). Call for canned food drop-off locations.
